A lot of you are being overly unsupportive about this.


nah man, trying to be realistic. theres a reason why the majority of engineering students drop out, theres no reason to waste money on tuition if you aren't positive thats what you want to do.

Yeah, but none of us even know David in real life, so we aren't sure how passionate he really is about it.  If anything, we are causing him to have a higher likelihood of failure by instantly dismissing his dream.

I think we can be supportive and realistic at the same time.

If he's really passionate about it, I'd love to hear it. Really.

Switching from Journalism to something so incredibly specialized as Engineering is a massive step across the pond.

But if it's something you really want to do, really and fucking honestly, all the more power to you. Have a goal in front of you and take the steps to get there.
